Hey, rope droppers. We want to thank our amazing sponsor, the rope drop queen herself, Michelle McKnight.

She's an independent travel agent affiliated with MEI travel and mouse fan travel. We have used her on number of vacations and can't speak highly enough of her services.

If you were thinking about a Disney vacation, she's the one to talk to. Her services are completely free. Disney pays her after you travel, and she is a wealth of knowledge that has saved us a lot of time and money. So check her out on Facebook at RopeDropDre Queen or email her at Michelle.McKnight at M-E-I-Travel.com. Now on to the show.

Helping you navigate the Disney parks.

With the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.

You're listening to Rope Drop Radio.

Welcome to another Rope Drop Radio.

Derek and Doug here talking all things, Disney.

And Doug, we like to bash kind of go into the parks during the holiday season.

You've been, I've been.

It gets really crazy.

You might only get one or two rides in, it feels like.

But it is a magical time.

And so with that, we are bringing on a special guest tonight.

That's right.

We found somebody that has gone and survived Christmasmas at disney world and welcome to the show

to the most magical place on earth?

Well, you know, a lot of it kind of comes down to my wife as a teacher, and so she gets a week or two off around Christmas.

I switched jobs, had a little vacation time banked up, and so worked. Kids weren't't in school didn't have to worry about um you're having
